Non-Degree / Certificate Only Application

This application is intended for students who are interested in coming to Judson for personal enrichment or teacher licensure as non-degree seeking students as well as those looking to pursue a certificate program. See Judson's online catalog for additional program information.

Please note that registration for classes ends the day before a new term begins. Applications may take up to one week to process, so any submission received less than one week prior to the start of a semester may not provide enough opportunity for a student to enroll. A copy of the University's Academic Calendar may also be found online.

Faith Information

Judson University is an Evangelical Christian university that equips students to be fully developed, responsible persons who glorify God by the quality of their relationships, work and citizenship locally and globally.  Being "fully developed" includes developing spiritually.  To help us better serve our diverse community, we ask a series of questions about your spiritual journey. Judson does not require students to adhere to any particular faith.

Please indicate where you are in your own spiritual journey by selecting one of the following statements about where you see yourself at this time.
